This is the state of a true war? Humans are so puny… They are like slaves to those weapons, enhancing their glory with their lives… Long Yuehong saw bombs drop one after another as missiles flew over and blanketed the area the Old Task Force was in.
He knew that the jeep's bulletproof armor modifications couldn't withstand such a bombardment. He could only hope that they would be lucky enough to survive.
Long Yuehong seemed to see his life begin a countdown. For a moment, he felt despair and yearning.
His despair was because he couldn't think of a way to avoid the imminent death, something that he could only watch helplessly. pared to getting out of the car and rolling for cover, there was still a decent layer of protection as long as the jeep wasn't directly hit. His yearning was because he couldn't bear to die like this. He wanted to return to Pangu Biology and show off his gains on the surface to his parents and siblings. He wanted to share his experiences and live a relatively fulfilling life.
At this moment, he heard Shang Jianyao shout from the backseat, "This doesn't make sense!"
What doesn't make sense… Amidst Long Yuehong's perplexity, he saw Shang Jianyao pounce over and swing his fist.
The fist went straight for the back of his ear!
Hey! You want to hit me because you think it doesn't make sense? Just as this thought flashed through Long Yuehong's mind, the unprepared him was punched by Shang Jianyao.
With a bang, he blacked out.
An instant before that, Long Yuehong saw his team leader straighten her body from the corner of his eye. She then swung her right fist at the driving Bai Chen and aimed her left palm at 'Garibaldi' Giuseppe.
Jiang Baimian was only slightly slower than Shang Jianyao.
The unconscious darkness gradually disappeared as Long Yuehong recovered some of his thoughts. Why did Shang Jianyao say that it doesn't make sense? Why hit me when it doesn't make sense? That's good. At least being blown up in a a isn't that painful…
As his thoughts wandered, Long Yuehong suddenly felt the darkness ebb.
The shaking became more and more intense as a gap opened up in the darkness, allowing blinding light to spew in.
Long Yuehong abruptly opened his eyes and saw Shang Jianyao's body lunge forward above 'Garibaldi' Giuseppe.
Shang Jianyao grabbed his friend's shoulder with one hand and shook it while holding the flashlight with the other to illuminate his face.
"…" Long Yuehong was confused at first before raising his hand to cover his eyes. "Stop, stop, stop!"
"He's awake." Jiang Baimian—who was in the passenger seat—stopped Shang Jianyao.
Shang Jianyao regretfully switched off the flashlight, released his grip, and sat back down.
Long Yuehong's heart palpitated as he suddenly sat up and looked around. He then realized that the jeep was intact and that none of the team members were injured. Although the surrounding streets were in a poor state, there were no signs of them being bombed.
More importantly, the jeep seemed to have just left the parking lot of Sikhara Temple—this wasn't the case in his memories.
We were almost turning into another street!
"This…" Long Yuehong blurted out, "A dream? We were dragged into the Real Dreamscape just now?"
"Furthermore, it was a connected dream," Jiang Baimian—who was in the passenger seat—replied in a deep voice.
"It went from a single-player game to a multiplayer online game," Shang Jianyao echoed.
"We almost got into an accident." Bai Chen had lingering fears about how she began dreaming without even knowing.
On the one hand, the bombardment in the dream made her feel the approach of death. On the other hand, the short slumber in reality almost made her drive the jeep into a house by the road and through the wall.
Long Yuehong came to a realization and looked at Shang Jianyao. "You said that it doesn't make sense because you found it unreal and suspected that it's a dream?"
"That's right." Shang Jianyao was rarely serious. "We all feel that nobody in First City would spend so much on us. It's too wasteful. How many missiles can they buy with all our bounties bined?"
That's true. That kind of treatment is something only the pany's brigade will 'enjoy'… Long Yuehong recalled his dream and felt that it was indeed so.
Shang Jianyao continued, "Once I suspected that it was a dream, I decided to experiment with you. A a in the Real Dreamscape is equivalent to a a in reality. After a a, one will lose their ability to sense their surroundings, and they will no longer be affected by the fatal blow in the Real Dreamscape."
